247.372370 Carburetor Kit For Craftsman 247.377051 247.377000 247.377050 Lawn Mower Compatible With Briggs & Stratton 725 163cc Carb With Air Filter/Cover

What It Is

This is a complete carburetor kit for Craftsman walk-behind mowers, specifically designed for models 247.377051, 247.377000, and 247.377050. It includes the carburetor body, air filter, and air filter cover, making it a drop-in replacement for the Briggs & Stratton 725 series 163cc engine.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number (starts with 247) and engine model. This kit fits only the Briggs & Stratton 725 163cc engine (model series 12A902 or similar). Check your engine’s model, type, and code numbers stamped on the valve cover or blower housing. This is an aftermarket kit, not OEM, so expect slight differences in gasket thickness or finish. Measure your existing air filter cover—this kit’s cover is specific to the 725 series and may not match older or different Briggs engines. No deck size requirement; it’s engine-dependent.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: Users report good fit and function at roughly half the cost of a genuine Briggs kit, but the aftermarket gaskets may be less durable. Consider replacing them with OEM if you want longer life.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the old carb, transfer the float and needle (if not pre-installed), and adjust the idle mixture screw. A carburetor tool or small screwdriver set helps.
• Common gotcha: The air filter cover may have slightly different clip alignment than your original. Test fit before reassembling the mower housing.
• Includes extras: Comes with a new air filter and cover, so you don’t need to buy those separately—useful if the old filter is worn or missing.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you’re comfortable with basic small-engine repair and want a budget-friendly fix for a clogged or leaking carburetor on a Craftsman mower with the Briggs 725 engine. It’s a solid value for the price and user-rated 5/5, but if you prefer guaranteed OEM fit or plan to keep the mower for years, spending more on a genuine Briggs kit may save hassle later.
